Required arguments

Optional arguments

Description: A string value used as a delimiter. Splits the values in field on every occurrence of this string.

Default: A single space (" ").

tokenizer

Syntax: tokenizer=<string>

Description: A regex, with a capturing group, that is repeat-matched against the text of field. For each match, the first capturing group is used as a value of the newly created multivalue field.

allowempty

Syntax: allowempty=<bool>

Description: Specifies whether to permit empty string values in the multivalue field. When using delim=true, repeats of the delimiter string produce empty string values in the multivalue field. For example if delim="," and field="a,,b", by default does not produce any value for the empty string. When using the tokenizer argument, zero length matches produce empty string values. By default they produce no values.

Default: false

setsv

Syntax: setsv=<bool>

Description: If true, the makemv command combines the decided values of the field into a single value, which is set on the same field. (The simultaneous existence of a multivalue and a single value for the same field is a problematic aspect of this flag.)
